Michael, Can you please provide link to that topic that mentions that DFSORT has a lower limit than the other product? We do have limits and I *believe* it is the same as the other product, but if you are running on Z15 and higher you can use sort accelerator(with OPTION ZSORT) with DFSORT which can sort up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 records ( Nine quintillion two hundred twenty-three quadrillion three hundred seventy-two trillion thirty-six billion eight hundred fifty-four million seven hundred seventy-five thousand eight hundred seven) as mentioned here https://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-main@listserv.ua.edu/msg124898.html Btw it would a while for any customer to sort that many records.
